Listen to him.
Mark 9:5-8, And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.
It’s great that Peter was there, for we too often are terrified and even though we don’t know what to say we talk instead of listening. We get the clear instruction here, that we should follow James’ advice: be quick to listen and slow to speak. And we know whom it is we are to listen to!
When we are tempted to speak, keep our ears tuned to hear your voice, Lord Jesus!
